"When Vinnie Santiani's sister is killed, he runs from the world to the isolation of the bush, driven by fear and loneliness. In 1941, Erich Pieters leaves his family to fight with Hitler's Wehrmacht in the sands of North Africa. Amid the rain soaked forests of South Western Australia, these two young men's lives collide across the years, changing them both as they struggle to escape their pain and the memory of fireshadow." -back cover
